TURN OUT THE LIGHTS

****
TURN OUT THE LIGHTS THE PARTY OVER . MEMPHIS FELT THE THUNDER AS OK CITY ENDED THE GRIZZLIES' PLAYOFF RUN .

THE THUNDER HAD TOO MUCH STAR POWER & DEPTH FOR THE GRIZZ . MEMPHIS HAS SOME REALLY GOOD PLAYERS LIKE Z - BO BUT OKLAHOMA CITY HAS STARS IN DURANT & WESTBROOK.

MEMPHIS JUST RAN OUT OF GAS . THEY SURE DID GET A LOT OF MPG THIS SEASON . WILL THIS BE THE START OF A NEW GRIZZLIES ERA OR JUST A FLASH IN THE PAN ? TIME WILL TELL .

70 YEAR OLD PETE ROSE WANTS TO MANAGE IN THE MAJORS AGAIN . NOT GOING TO HAPPEN PETEY .

YOU CAN DO ALMOST ANYTHING & GET A SECOND CHANCE . BOOZE, DRUGS, JUICE, WHUP UP ON YOUR WIFE OR GF , EVEN SHOOT GUNS OR KILL DOGS . SOMEBODY WILL TAKE A CHANCE ON YOU .

PETE COMMITTED THE UNPARDONABLE SIN IN SPORTS. HE GAMBLED ON THE GAMES . THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE ON THIS ONE PETE .

I DO THINK ROSE SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME BUT I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE IN THE DUGOUT .

ERIC TORPY IS AN INMATE IN THE OKLAHOMA STATE PRISON . WHEN ERIC WAS POPPED WITH A 30 YEAR TERM BIG E SAYS " GIVE ME 33 YEARS TO HONOR LARRY BIRD ' THE JUDGE SAID 33 IT IS .

SURE WAS A GOOD THING ERIC DIDN'T WANT TO HONOR DENNIS RODMAN. DENNIS WORE # 91 FOR SOME OF HIS NBA TIME .

IF I EVER AM IN THIS SITUATION I AM GOING TO ASK TO HONOR RUSSELL WESTBROOK OR ROBERT PARRISH WHO BOTH WORE ZERO !

IT IS GREAT TO BE A CUBS FAN . NOT ONLY CAN YOU SEE MOST OF THE GAMES ON TV, BUT YOU ARE USUALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE PENNANT RACE BY LATE MAY .

THIS MEANS A STRESS FREE SUMMER , NO HIGH PRESSURE GAMES TO WORRY ABOUT . JUST A LOT OF TALK ABOUT NEXT YEAR .

WHEN I WAS A KID ,I LIVED 3 YEARS ABOUT 8 BLOCKS FROM WRIGLEY FIELD . THE CUBBIES WERE HORRIBLE THEN, THE WHITE SOX WERE THE HOT TEAM . THE SOX WERE ALL THE WAY ACROSS TOWN . YOU NEEDED A PASSPORT TO GET THERE .

MY MOM TOOK ME & A BUDDY TO SEE THE YANKEES / SOX IN 1960 . THANKS MOM .

I MOVED FROM MEDINA TO CHICAGO BACK TO MEDINA . MOST OF MY LITTLE FRIENDS HAD NOT BEEN OUT OF G - COUNTY. THIS MUST BE WHEN I ACQUIRED MY COSMOPOLITAN STYLE . RIGHT !

****
I SHOULD LET THIS GO BUT WHAT FUN IS LIFE IF YOU DON'T GET UP TO YOUR TAIL PIPE IN CONTROVERSY EVER NOW & THEN . HERE WE GO .

THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHOENIX SUNS SAYS HE IS GAY . AS THE BRITISH SAY " ISN'T THIS A STICKY WICKET . '

IS THIS RELEVANT ? WHY DID HE FEEL COMPELLED TO TELL US THIS ?

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGING . HOMOSEXUALITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE TO THE SURFACE IN WOMEN'S SPORTS , BUT TABOO OVER ON THE MEN'S SIDE .

I DON'T THINK AN OPENLY GAY TEAMMATE WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED DURING MY TIME IN SPORTS . MAYBE NOT TODAY . THIS IS AN ISSUE THE WOMEN HAVE DEALT WITH MUCH MORE THAN THE MEN .

WHAT DO YOU THINK ? LET ME HEAR FROM YOU .

I HAVE WORKED WITH & COACHED PEOPLE WHO WERE GAY . AS LONG AS IT DID NOT EFFECT THEIR PERFORMANCE I DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS MY BUSINESS .

I DO NOT APPROVE OF THE GAY LIFE STYLE BUT I HAVE MY OWN SINS TO WORRY WITH . I WILL HAVE ENOUGH TO ANSWER FOR ON JUDGMENT DAY . LET THE GAYS PLEAD THEIR CASE TO THE ONE WHO REALLY MATTERS .

SNOT, I WISH I HAD LET THIS SLIDE .
